“rubble and plaster, with the ornamented parts painted by the use of red dressed stone and granite; the gate, now partly ruined, must have once been very fine. The masjid inside was profusely ornamented with coloured plaster and glazed tiles, though now most of it has been stripped. The façade of the masjid and gateway was also ornamented with coloured medallions and carved stone flowers; the colours used were blue, yellow, red, purple, white, green, black, grey. It has one central dome on a low neck and very peculiar pinnacle, greatly resembling that of Qil’ah Konā Masjid. The walls of the masjid are plumb, but the towers slope, and it has projecting eaves in front as in Moti-ki-Masjid. A peculiarity of this masjid was its cloisters.”²
